Because
I can't hear your words 
when you're plugged 
into some other life

I don't feel your voice 
when it's using 
someone else's air

You're not in my world
you're in theirs

And I won't stand for it no more 

Rip out your eardrums!
Peel open your eyelids!
I'm screaming.

But you won't listen 
when you light the street lamps of 
someone else's world
